The situation on the European market has changed, and medical dentists faced a problem of changing the attitude of patients, patients needs as well as more demanding patients. This may be a serious barrier at work. Communication with a patient is a very specific type of contact. It involves personal communication skills, requires to certain level of empathy but also knowledge how to guide the conversation with the patient to receive necessary information to diagnose a problem efficiently, to communicate during patient’s treatment and also to encourage the patient to continue the treatment till finishing of the whole medical process.

The result of the project is an innovative training programme and its basic methodology (manual), prepared by the team of experts in psychology, medicine, international experts in the fear and phobia, in close cooperation with dentists and Medical Universities. It includes very advanced communication techniques, also working with fear. The training corresponds to the 6th level, with some elements of level 7, of the European Qualification Framework.
